AirVPN client in Linux (ubuntu) - Some questions

[stupidcats 14]

Hey there,

 

So I'm using the AirVPN client on ubuntu and I've two questions:

 

1) How do I make it so the client starts at system startup?

 

I already added "sudo airvpn" to the system-startup thing and in the airVPN client I checked the box "Connect at startup". It's still not working.. Any idea why?

 

2) What's the name of the process in the system-monitor?

 

The other day I had a problem with the client and couldn't/didn't-know-how-to kill it because I couldn't find the process..

You can find out the PIDs of the various airvpn processes with

 

ps aux | grep airvpn

 

Kind regards

Hello,

 

Respectfully, I don't think your link helps me, as airvpn requires sudo.. As I said in OP, I already did what that link says, but it's not working.

 

Thank you for the point 2 though, it helped.

Hello!

 

Of course your method fails. If you have already tried "ps" you will have already seen how to run AirVPN properly and elevate privileges in a graphical environment. If not, just look at how "AirVPN.exe" is run.

 

Kind regards

I've edited the sudoers file by doing

sudo visudo
 

and then adding the following to the file:

epsilon ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/AirVPN/AirVPN.exe
 

I also tried other paths, such as /usr/bin/X11/airvpn and /usr/bin/airvpn but neither worked.

 

What am I doing wrong?!

Hello!

 

sudo can't be used to elevate privileges of a program in a graphic environment. The client can run in non-graphic mode but in this case you must specify "-cli" option.

 

With ps ("ps ax | grep airvpn"), have a look at how you can run AirVPN client Eddie on your environment (after you have launched the client through your desktop manager launcher).

 

Kind regards
